      BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen
      BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen
      Flow cytometric analysis for T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen in activated mouse spleen cells. Concanavalin A-stimulated (3 days) mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat IgM, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 562708; dashed line histogram) or with the BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen antibody (Cat No. 562967; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histograms were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphoblasts. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System.

      Preparation And Storage

      Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 were removed.

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
      3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
      4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

      GL7

      The GL7 antibody specifically recognizes the T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen which is also known as, the GL7 antigen. The GL7 antigen is a 35-kDa cell-surface protein that is expressed on T and B lymphocytes activated in vitro, on bone marrow Pre-B-II cells, germinal-center B cells, and the subpopulation of thymocytes that coexpress high CD3e levels.  The GL7 antibody recognizes an epitope containing nonsulfated α2-6-sialyl-LacNAc. There is strain variability with respect to GL7 antigen distribution on thymocytes and Con A-activated spleen cells. GL7 antigen expression is found to be higher on BALB/c mouse leucocytes than on C57BL/6 mouse counterparts. The GL7 antibody reportedly may crossreact with epitopes on molecules expressed by certain rat and human leucocyte subsets.

      The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes.  With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon™ BV421  can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon™ BV421  conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue™ conjugates.

      BV421
      The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
